In a heartbreaking incident over the weekend, Chanelle Allcock, a 38-year-old resident of Mississauga, was killed in a hit-and-run accident at the intersection of Erin Mills Parkway and Eglinton Avenue West. Chanelle was on her way back to Credit Valley Hospital after parking her car when she was struck by a white 2015 to 2020 Mercedes GLA 250 or 45 Series. The vehicle reportedly sped through a red light and fled the scene without stopping.
Chanelle had just recently celebrated her marriage to Shawn Radmore and was in the midst of planning their honeymoon to Japan. The sudden loss has left her family, including her parents Mel and Wayne Allcock, devastated and calling for the driver to turn themselves in. Peel Regional Police are actively searching for the suspect vehicle, believed to have significant damage to the front end and windshield. Motor Vehicle Accident Lawyers are emphasizing the importance of justice and safety for all road users.
